Visitors from Japan toured Bolesławiec while gathering material on ceramics in Bolesławiec. The Japanese visitors learned about the technology and designs of the ceramics produced here. At the Museum of Ceramics, the visitors learned about the history of the pottery craft and viewed exhibits created in Bolesławiec from the 13th to the 20th century.
The visit resulted in a publication titled “Ceramics from Bolesławiec”. It is currently the only publication on the Japanese market devoted entirely to Bolesławiec ceramics, and it has been enthusiastically received by readers. Its popularity is demonstrated by its first place in the ranking on the Japanese Amazon website.
The popularity of Bolesławiec stoneware is also evidenced by two visits by Japanese television crews to Bolesławiec, in autumn 2012 and summer 2013. There is no doubt that the growing interest in Bolesławiec ceramics in Japan is proof of the timelessness and originality of the ceramics produced in Bolesławiec.
